When you recreate the famous artwork,  please remember: 
You are on a mission with Ms. Hsieh to spread the positive energy to "turn over" the current situation. We will continue to make a positive impact on people. We can all heal through this process together. We will carry the legacy of Boston Strong. 

Art is a powerful way of communication.

 We heal others we heal ourselves.

Cubism is a style of art that aims to show all of the possible viewpoints of a person or an object all at once. It is called Cubism because the items represented in the artworks look like they are made out of cubes and other geometrical shapes. Cubism was first started by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.

To be open-minded. 

To look at a thing from different angles.

To be the positive one that you can "turn over" others. Love is contagious.

 Why are these recreations not okay?

 How can we fix them to fulfill the requirements? 

1. The recreation does not have complexity. These are too simple for the middle school level.

2. You are required to spend 50 minutes or more on your final artwork. 

3. You must involve your own piece of artwork in the recreation that includes your own drawing, painting, sculpture, cooking, baking,  installation, or digital art.
